Hi, I read in book about Linux file systems and at the end of chapter there was one example in which author wanted to create dedicated volume for /var coz it was mounted on root partition. Lets skip some steps and assume we have prepared partition on disk - /dev/sdb1so he did it this way:
[root@server ~]# mkdir /new_var [root@server ~]# mount /dev/sdb1 /new_var [root@server ~]# cp -vrp /var/* /new_var/ [root@server ~]# mv /var /old_var [root@server ~]# mkdir /var [root@server ~]# mount --bind /new_var/ /var and what is really bothering me most is that cp command, wouldn't it possibly create inconsistency ? What would be better way to do it ? Is it even possible to do such change on running system without worries to lose some data ?
